FA yearbooks from the 1980s & 1990scredit Bobby Moore with
captaining England on 21 April 1970, but the yearbooks from the 1970s and other sources give
the captaincy rightly to Charlton. Admiration for Moore led to an
outburst of historical revisionism which gave him the additional captaincy he needed to
have one
more than Billy Wright's 90. Charlton was not merely an honourary or
ceremonial captain the night of his 100th cap.
